littlerm 0 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I just recently installed Emby and am using a HDHomerun Prime tuner for LiveTV with the beta Emby client on a Shield TV. I have direct and VLC options enabled. 1080i interlaced video is not using Bob deinterlacing (60 fps), it is running at 30 fps, which creates the not-smooth effect on tickers and sports. 720p looks fine (of course). When viewed through the HDHomerun native app or the HDHomerun app on Kodi I get smooth 60 fps video for 1080i content on the same channels. I really like what I am seeing so far out of Emby. I love the integrated LiveTV (and future DVR) feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue and would like to know how you determined this. Also DVR is already enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrellydw 9 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 OK, going to test it again when I get home but I think the 1.2.11a just got pushed on the FireTV and when I was watching TV today everything was transcoding again and not direct/V. However my server was doing a lot stuff during that time but I don't think that should make a difference. Hopefully it was just a glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrellydw 9 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Yup I have 1.2.11a and it now seems to play ok but I have no guide data. I have rebooted the server and FireTV and still nothing. If I start playing a channel I can than pull up the guide data but I no longer have GUIDE as an option to select in the menu. Ignore that, fixed it by deleting it and reinstalling it Edited June 27, 2016 by squirrellydw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue and would like to know how you determined this. Also DVR is already enabled. I have gone through the same issue when using MythTV. Once hardware-accelerated 60 fps Bob deinterlace was enabled everything was fine. The framerate in Emby for 1080i content is consistent but not smooth, like the difference between 30fps and 60 fps gaming. I don't know if Emby is using Bob deinterlacing, but it is most definitely not 60fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrellydw 9 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 OK, ever since the update and with the latest beta everything is transcoding Trans/I. Log sent around 926 Eastern Time, User Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrellydw 9 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I will try again, not sure whats going on with the log. But yes it is Transcoding and looks like crap. Very blurry and pixilated. I will send another log and record a video and upload it to dropbox. Give me a few minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 What is your max bitrate set to? Transcode log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrellydw 9 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Auto and I tried 40. I fixed it for now. I uninstalled the app, rebooted the firetv and reinstalled it. It's back to Direct/V. So it's working again. 1080i channels still looks funny but I think you know that. Hopefully you can figure it out, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrellydw 9 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 so I think when my server is doing things is when the FireTV app decides to Transcode live TV. Anyway to prevent that, a setting some place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 so I think when my server is doing things is when the FireTV app decides to Transcode live TV. Anyway to prevent that, a setting some place? Yes. If you are sure you are on a consistent network connection, you can use a specific bitrate instead of the auto setting. If the machine or server are really bogged down at the time we do the auto test, it can fool it into thinking you don't have much bandwidth.

squirrellydw 9 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 So I should change the app to 40 and not auto. Nothing to change on the server side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to change on the server side That depends on what kind of connection you have but, yes, pick a fixed rate if you are on a local wired or good wireless network.
